The PHP scripting language and MySQL open-source database
are quite<br>
effective independently, but together they make a simply
unbeatable<br>
team. When working hand-in-hand, they serve as the standard
for the<br>
rapid development of dynamic, database-driven websites.
This<br>
combination is so popular, in fact, that it's attracting
many<br>
programming newbies who come from a web or graphic design
background<br>
and whose first language is HTML. If you fall into this
ever-expanding<br>
category, then this book is for you.</p><br>
		<p class="docText"><br>
			<span class="docEmphasis">Learning PHP and MySQL</span> starts with the
very basics<br>
of the PHP language, including strings and arrays, pattern
matching and a detailed<br>
discussion of the variances in different PHP versions. Next,
it<br>
explains how to work with MySQL, covering information on SQL
data<br>
access for language and data fundamentals like tables and
statements.<br>
Finally, after it's sure that you've mastered these separate
concepts,<br>
the book shows you how to put them together to<br>
generate dynamic content. In the process, you'll also learn
about error<br>
handling, security, HTTP authentication and more.
</p><br>
		<p class="docText"><br>
If you're a hobbyist who is intimidated by thick,
complex<br>
computer books, then this guide definitely belongs on your
shelf.<br>
			<span class="docEmphasis">Learning PHP and MySQL</span> explains
everything--from<br>
basic concepts to the nuts and bolts of performing specific
tasks--in plain<br>
English. </p><br>
		<p class="docText"><br>
Part of O'Reilly's bestselling "Learning" series, the book
is an<br>
easy-to-use resource designed specifically for newcomers.
It's also a launching pad<br>
for future learning, providing you with a solid foundation
for more advanced development.</p></td></tr></table>
